Star Trek Pairing Meme!
Star Trek Pairing Meme - because these things are always fun and a good writer’s block-breaker. Which I need.
Quick! Name ten of your favorite nuTrek characters in any order!
1. James T Kirk (GQMF)
2. Christopher Pike (BAMF)
3. Spock Spock SPOCK
4. Hikaru Sulu
5. Montgomery Scott
6. Spock Spock SPOCK PRIME!
7. Nyota Uhura
8. Leonard McCoy
9. Pavel Andreievitch Chekhov
10. Gaila
1. Have you read a Nine/Ten fic before?
[Gaila/Chekhov] - oh GOD, that would be HILARIOUS. Gaila, seducers of innocents and virginity thief. I haven’t read one, no, but it must be out there somewhere.
2. Do you think Three is hot? How hot?
Spock, you are everything that was ever hot in a pointy-eared space Buddhist. Calm and collected, until someone makes you lose it (whereupon you choke a bitch, straight up), apt to go into heat at inopportune moments, intoxicated by chocolate. No one ever made logic so sexy.
3. What would happen if Six got One pregnant?
[Spock Prime/Kirk] - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… HA… HAAAAomfg. Considering that mpreg is such a common theme in this fandom someone has probably already written this fic, but I had this beautiful image of Spock Prime saying, “All the James T. Kirks are belong to ME” and skipping away with Jim while Spock sobs his little green Vulcan heart out.
4. Do you recall any good fics about Four?
Sulu is one of my favorite characters to write reaction-shots through, but I don’t hardcore ship him with anyone, so I don’t usually seek out fics about him. Any suggestions for further reading?
5. Would Seven and Two make a good couple?
[Uhura/Pike] - Yes, I think so. Nyota seems like the kind of woman who’d appreciate a dapper older gent to engage in intellectually-stimulating conversations with and to buy her expensive presents. ;3
6. Four/Eight or Four/Nine?
[Sulu/McCoy or Sulu/Chekhov] - Whoa, a total rarepair and one that’s practically canon, what a split. I’m gonna go with the four/nine on this one, because I can’t figure out where a Sulu/McCoy pairing would come from... okay, there are only FOUR STORIES on all of ff.net with this pairing. True to form, two are mpreg and one involves sex pollen. XD Oh god I love you Star Trek.
7. What would happen if Seven discovered Three and Eight in a secret relationship?
[Uhura, Spock/McCoy] - Hooboy, watch out, McCoy, you are in for a catfight. Miss Uhura does not seem to be the type to take that shit lying down.
8. Make a summary of at least twenty words for a Two/Six fic.
[Pike/Spock Prime] - Ooo, love in the autumn years?
Space was a place for the young. The admiral had resigned himself to a slow, lonely decline into old age and beyond, and thought maybe there he’d see the stars again. Trust his pragmatic first officer, albeit in an older, wiser form, to show him that they’d never left him.
9. Is there such a thing as a Four/Ten romantic fluff story?
[Sulu/Gaila] Hmmm, I actually really like this pair. Romantic fluff, you say? If, say, we were talking a high school AU where Sulu is a geek tutoring the bubbly and popular Gaila, who only wants to be loved for who she is and senses she isn’t getting it from her quarterback boyfriend Jim? XD I could get behind that.
10. Suggest a title for a One/Five Hurt/Comfort fic.
[Kirk/Scotty] - “Save the Last Bottle for Me”. *thumbs up*
11. What kind of plot would you use for a Three/Four fic?
[Spock/Sulu] - Are you listening to yourself, random-pairing-generating-meme? This is ridonkulous. But... in the interests of slashing wherever I possibly can... I would say that Spock and Sulu might go from intense sparring buddies to intense ‘sparring’ buddies, y’know whadda mean? Huh? Huh?
12. Does anyone on your friends list read number Seven het? What about Ten slash?
[Nyota, Gaila] - I have no earthly idea. Do you, people on my friends list?
13. If you wrote a songfic about number Nine, what song would you chose?
[Chekhov] - Mwahaha, Russia-love. t.A.T.u has a song, “Я сошла с ума” that English-speakers might know better as “All the Things She Said.” It’s about tortured lesbian love, but I’m sure if we changed the pronouns around it could just as easily be about tortured gay love. Pairing of Chekhov/Your Choice.
14. If you wrote a One/Ten/Eight fic, what would the warning be?
[Kirk/Gaila/Bones] - Um, boobies? Because I don’t usually write het? Possible girlfriend-stealing, double penetration? Gaila tells Kirk she wants a threesome and McCoy is the only one he trusts enough to have it with? Squicked-out and horribly turned-on McCoy? COME BACK PLOT BUNNY
15. What pick-up line might Eight use on Five?
[McCoy on Scotty] - It could be many things, but all of those things are booze-related. Or being-Scottish-related. “Is that a sporran under your kilt, or are you just happy to see me?”
16. Challenge: Write a drabblefic for Ten/Eight.
[Gaila/McCoy]
He shouldn’t be doing this, he thought hazily as her nails dug hard into his back and her throaty gasp sounded in his ear. Really, really should not be doing this, the ‘this’ being Jim’s pretty redheaded girlfriend, and he should definitely not be doing her on Jim’s bed. So many roomie codes broken.
“This- I- I really shouldn’t-God,” he choked out as she bucked up into him, nails raking down his back to dig into his ass. Sweat plastered her curling hair to her forehead and her lips were swollen and bruised like overripe fruit, and she was beautiful, so beautiful.
“I won’t tell if you won’t,” she whispered huskily.
112 words
[17-21: more questions that assume I have friends to call up and ask these questions…]
22. Would you write Two/Four/Five?
[Pike/Sulu/Scotty] - Ye GODS, what fresh hell is THIS? Okay, I say: Sulu gets wildly, hilariously drunk because Gaila stole Pavel’s virginity, Scotty is along for the company, and Pike takes advantage of both of them. :D
23) What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
[Gaila] - “What do you MEAN, they were all out of Cherry Garcia Ben & Jerry’s?! GET OUT AND DON’T COME BACK UNTIL YOU FIND SOME!”
No one said it had to be sexual passion. :3 I’m picturing Gaila hugely pregnant and suffering husband!Bones at the mercy of her rapidly-fluctuating hormones.
24. When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
[Scotty] - A few weeks ago, a fav author normally devoted to Spirk had an odd, lonely little Scones fic floating around. It was quite cute. When I find it again, I’ll post a link. Edit: FOUND IT~!
25. What is Six's super-secret kink?
[Spock Prime] - Well, we all know what his not-so-secret kinks are (insert chocolate/ear sex/pon farr jokes here), so I’m going to go out on a limb here and say, KNITTING. SPOCK PRIME IS INORDINATELY AND ILLOGICALLY TURNED ON BY KNITTING. Which means by definition, so is nuSpock. Insert fic about Kirk making Spock a scarf, plz. Edit: An anon commenter reccomends this fic for knitting kink. :)
26. Would Eight shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
[McCoy/Chekhov] - Oh, I think we can all agree that McCoy would prefer a little liquid courage to blame any molestation on, but that it isn’t necessary by any means.
27. If One and Seven get together, who tops?
[Kirk/Uhura] - Of course it is Uhura. With a strap-on. I have this sudden image of a drabblefic starting with, “You said you’ll do… anything?” SOMEONE GET ON THAT. Edit: janice_lester's got it covered.
28. "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Six and a brief unhappy affair with Ten, then follows the wise advice of Two and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic?
Okay, so: Kirk and Chekhov are in a happy relationship until Chekhov runs off with Sulu (totally plausible). Kirk, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Spock Prime (WTF?!) and a brief unhappy affair with Gaila (also totally plausible), then follows the wise advice of Pike and finds true love with Spock.
What title would I give this fic? Hmmm, something like ‘Found You in the End’, although that’s not exactly original. I’m just glad that even through random numbering Kirk and Spock still found each other. <3
29. How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
[Uhura/McCoy] - They are canon, or at least fanon. Their personalities are so similar, and McCoy is quite the southern gentleman underneath it all-- which I think Uhura could appreciate. Besides, as soon as all Spirk breaks loose Uhura’s going to need a shoulder to punch and cry on.
30. EXTRA DRABBLEFIC CHALLENGES: choose and compose an extra drabble-ish fic based on one of the following situations, then add your own:
30a. Six and Eight are trapped in a very, very small space together, and Eight can’t seem to stop squirming.
30b. One has an chance encounter with Four on a major holiday.
30c. Three gets a (possibly naughty) present from Five that was meant for Seven. Five tries to get it back.
30d. Two, Six and Nine are in a rock band together.
30e. Five falls asleep on Ten’s shoulder on a long plane ride. Drool optional.
30f. Three and Eight are rival porn stars.
30g. Seven is Four’s new college roommate and they have a particularly annoying habit.
I pick 30b! [Jim and Sulu]
“Aw, man, I’m sharry. Sorry,” the drunk and probably brain-damaged man tried to say, staggering slowly and painfully to his feet. He offered Jim a hand up, then rendered the gesture moot by falling back on his ass.
Gaila, who had been gaping from her unspoilt side of the picnic blanket, started to laugh. “That- that was awesome,” she gasped out, and Jim glared at her, because dirt-surfing down the hill would have been awesome if- and this is the important thing- IF Jim Kirk was the one doing it. Bushes had taken the brunt of the assault, but the laws of physics kept the unfortunate pilot of the S.S. Shopping Cart in the air long enough to smash into Jim.
“Sorry,” the man mumbled again, just as a smaller man came tearing around the bushes with a desperate, “Hikaru!”
Gaila just laughed and laughed, and Jim scowled and rubbed at his darkening bruises, and somehow all four of them ended up sitting on the blanket together, watching the sun go down. “It’s Pasha, right? From CompSci 476?” his girlfriend asked the newcomer, who nodded brightly, and he might have said something else but then the fireworks started.
Hikaru was touching his cheek gingerly, where he’d managed to scrape off a layer or two of skin. Jim sighed, and asked grudgingly, “Want an ice cream cone to put on that?”
238 words.
And this is my contribution:
30h. Five asks Six to set them up with a blind date. The result is Nine.
